We have been learning so much in the last few months exploring #plantbased living.
one of the most common questions i am asked (a question i also had been asking) is “how do you get your protein?” after living our entire lives with the understanding that meat and dairy are vital for obtaining the nutrition we need, it makes perfect sense that we would question a life without it.
josh and i are still so new at this, but we are loving the journey. part of that is figuring out our options for #protein and many other #nutrients that are sufficiently found in plant-based food.
this salad 🥗:
protein sources include:
kidney beans (3.5g per 1/4 cup)
black beans (3.5g per 1/4 cup)
protein + pasta (6g per 1/2 cup)
sunflower seeds (3g for 1/8 cup). .
this salad contributed to half of my rda for protein (0.36g per pound). calculations aside, i share this to say finding protein elsewhere is not as difficult or expensive as one might think. .
additionally, we have been exploring some alternative foods such as cashew cheeze. @wholefoods is always putting alternative products on sale and that’s a good time to try them out.

Part of the conclusion at the end of the incredible, eye-opening documentary, “food inc.” every day, we vote for how our food is produced through what we choose to eat. the way we grow, produce, and distribute our food affects not only human health, but the health of the entire planet, (which incidentally, directly affects human health). we’ve got to wake up people!! and we’ve got to choose a more enlightened food industry through putting our money where our values are!! if you haven’t seen it already, be sure to check out the film “food inc.” it’s both terrifying and empowering. like with all things, we can only correct the problems we bring to light.
time to bring our downfalls and challenges to light- both as individuals and as a society. that’s the only way we can move forward, personally and collectively.
